Learning physics on shape displays (Idea 2 by Udayan)

Learning science in school is not always a fun activity, until something is physical and tangible. Often many of the physics and physical quantities are just numbers. How can these physical quantities and numbers become tangible. The goal of this project is to teach physical quantities such as force, velocity and momentum taking advantage of the tangibility of the shape display. The idea would be to use the pins on the shape display to emulate these quantities and help one understand and associate these quantities with sense of touch and feel.
